Used 2016 Jeep Patriot Consumer Reviews
Not a Long Road Trip Vehicle
Drove this over 1,200 miles inside 3 days, mostly on the interstate. The base model has some of the worst seats I've ever experienced in any vehicle. If your waist is anything over 28" you'll be squirming to get out in two hours. There are two metal bars on the outer-side of the seat cushion that can be felt under about 1/2" of foam... very uncomfortable. The wind noise is incredible; turn the radio off and that's all you'll hear. And the smallish tank means you'll be hitting the gas station in around 300 miles... our low-fuel light went on at 271 miles from a full tank, averaging 70 MPH on the highway. If this is your terrain vehicle or around the town SUV then you'll be fine. If you plan a long road trip in this PLEASE do yourself a favor and spend more time in it then the typical 'round the block test drive from the dealership.

Love JEEP! I have owned 3 JEEP SUV s in 12 years.
Despite of what some people say negatively about JEEPS... in my opinion (JEEP) It is one of the best built vehicles that is made America today. I have owned Ford, Chevy, Mazda and Pontiac, (all American made vehicles) ALL BAD EXPERIENCES. (JEEP) in the other hand, without a doubt has being the best SUV s vehicles I have ever owned 'till today. My first brand new JEEP i bought, is a "2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo" still own it, still running strong and like a charm. With very little mechanical issues, "if any?" My second brand new SUV I bought, is a "2006 Jeep Commander" still own it, and has no relative major issues to complain about. Both Jeeps I have bought in 10-16 years, have out performed any other American made vehicles that I owned in the past. Every non Jeep vehicle I have ever owned, gave me lots of trouble after reaching the 50,000k mile range. The two Jeeps I own, both have over 170K miles on them, and they are still running very strong. My newest addition to my JEEP collection is the 2016 Jeep Patriot High Altitude Edition SUV. I have just acquired it from Gray Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of the Poconos in Stroudsburg, PA. And so far; I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS VEHICLE. It has all the bells and whistles I ever wanted, and more. ((And Sure! When Compared to my '04 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, or my '06 Jeep Commander, it is in another lesser power category. It is not in the same league "I do admit". But. It is by far the best vehicle, when compared to any other brand new vehicle of its class and price range. I personally will continue to stand behind JEEP; as long the vehicles I come to own from Jeep "continue to perform as my good as my first two have done so far. My honest advice to anyone considering in purchasing a new vehicle... Try Jeep first before considering any other vehicles. Jeep is a good brand, they continue to make, and have made some of America's toughest and most reliable vehicles for decades.

Best bang for the buck!
Value, value, value! I bought a 2016 base model (stick, 4 banger, no electric windows, etc.) in Green. $12,999 ... less than $15k out the door! As soon as I test drove it, there was no question in my mind. Great value, at lower price than comparable USED vehicles. Thank you South County Chrysler Jeep in Gilroy, CA

Can't get out of it's own way!
When driving on highway it feels like it needs to shift into another gear. Acceleration is horrible. Very noisy. Will update after having it checked out.

Best $20K SUV on the Market. Nothing comes close
Best $20K SUV on the Market. Nothing comes close in this price range. Classic Jeep style. Remember when all Jeep models had round headlamps. The Wrangler and Patriot are the only models left true to the brand.
